Download

Pick the path that fits your setup. Mythos ships as a single static binary, a Docker image, or source you can build yourself.

Docker

The fastest way to try Mythos. Mounts your media directory read-only and exposes the web UI on port 7878.

docker run -d \
  --name mythos \
  -p 7878:7878 \
  -v /path/to/media:/media:ro \
  -v mythos-data:/var/lib/mythos \
  ghcr.io/dark-spar/mythos:latest

Then open http://localhost:7878 and walk through the first-run setup.

Pre-built binary

Static, single-file binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows. No runtime, no dependencies.

curl -sSL https://mythos.darkspar.com/install.sh | sh
mythos --config /etc/mythos/config.toml

Binaries are signed and reproducible. Verify the checksum from the release page.

Build from source

You’ll need Rust 1.95 or newer.

git clone https://github.com/dark-spar/mythos
cd mythos
cargo build --release
./target/release/mythos-server

Platform packages

Native packages for common Linux distributions and homebrew. Pick yours below.

• Arch Linux — yay -S mythos
• Debian / Ubuntu — .deb on the releases page
• macOS — brew install dark-spar/tap/mythos
• NixOS — flake on the repo, module included

Hardware

Mythos is light. A Raspberry Pi 5 streams 1080p direct-play to the whole household; an old N100 mini-PC will transcode 4K on the fly. The server runs in well under 100 MB of RAM at idle.
